To install or upgrade Windows Media Connect:
1.At the computer with the photos or music you want to share, go to www.microsoft.com/downloads and search for Windows Media Con- nect. Microsoft may choose to stop offering Windows Media Con- nect at any time.
2.Download and install Windows Media Connect according to the instructions provided by Microsoft.
Connecting to the media center
At the computer:
1.Launch Windows Media Connect if it is not already running.
2.When Windows Media Connect launches, you are prompted to select the device you want to allow to access your computer. Select the Moxi Media Renderer, and then click Allow.
3.Click Next, and then choose which folders to share with the Moxi Media Center.
4.Click Finish. Windows Media Connect minimizes itself to the taskbar and begins indexing the shared folders. A balloon pops up from the toolbar alerting you that the computer is now sharing available media. If you are sharing a large number of files, it may take several minutes for the balloon to appear.
At the media center:
1.In the Moxi Menu, go to the Settings category, and then choose the PC Link Setup card.
2.Press OK, and then scroll to the Media Servers card. Your shared computer should be listed. If it is not, check to make sure your home network is configured correctly. If your shared computer is listed as busy, the computer is probably still indexing files. Wait a few minutes, and then check again.
3.Windows Media Connect is a Microsoft product and is supported by Microsoft at www.microsoft.com.
